78414, the Jew Bear bashing Nazis heads in is the essence of the whole movie
Posted by 40thStreetBlack, Wed Sep-09-09 02:14 PM
it's a revenge fantasy where Jews get to terrorize and kill Germans. The Jew Bear bashing Nazi heads in with a baseball bat while other captive German soldiers sit there terrified hearing his clanging bat coming and shitting their pants watching him bash their comrade to death in front of them is the epitome of that. same with the Basterds scalping Nazis.

There were plenty of character moments in Basterds, and I dunno how much depth there was to the characters in PF.

overkill was the point I think.

The closest thing to

I don't get how she didn't really care about Landa, she was terrified of him.

but yeah Mike Myers was distracting. And was that supposed to be Churchill in the room with them?
